Telescope donated to Navarro College Waxahachie Campus
Posted on July 17, 2019
Dr. Don Capone, who is the Dean of the Petroleum Technology program and teaches astronomy classes, donated his 10-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain reflecting telescope to the Navarro College Waxahachie Campus today. This donation to the astronomy department will allow classes to increase observation in a more significant way than just optional visits once a semester to Dr. Capone’s personal observatory. The telescope will be placed in a climate-controlled area on campus with access for on demand observation. We are so appreciative of Dr. Capone and his generous gift!
